Chapter 562: This is the 'Dragon Kite'!
Chapter 562: This is the 'Dragon Kite'!
"Huff—Huff—"
Thousand-Face Evasion gasped heavily, staring at the fused Gramps, unable to suppress the shock in his eyes.
No.
I only fired two shots, and you're giving me a pile of "bullets"?
If it weren't for the Substitute and its agile form, it barely managed to dodge Gramps' series of attacks, almost losing its battle ability right there.
But even if it dodged, Thousand-Face Evasion's current state had deteriorated significantly, even worse than Flash Ace's earlier condition.
Danti hadn't expected Jing He's Gramps to have such powerful burst potential.
He hadn't failed to understand Jing He's Gramps; it was just that in previous battles, Gramps had only displayed its ability to "steal" others' buffs and an unexpected Physical Attack capability.
And in some of Jing He's previous battle videos, most were League Tournament battles, which didn't offer much reference value.
Gramps' consecutive burst potential was this strong?
Danti had already taken out a Poke Ball, preparing to switch out Thousand-Face Evasion.
In essence, Thousand-Face Evasion was primarily intended to counter Jing He's Houndoom.
But.
A red light shot out from the Poke Ball, only to be blocked by a pitch-black force.
"Hee-hee~"
Gramps grinned cheekily, waving at Thousand-Face Evasion.
Don't leave yet, old man, I haven't even started playing~ Black eyes!
Thousand-Face Evasion: "..."
Who wants to play with you?
Danti realized that switching Pokemon in front of Gramps couldn't be done with this method, so he commanded:
"Thousand-Face Evasion, Rapid Retreat!"
Thousand-Face Evasion gritted its teeth, and a green glow emanated from its body, zapping towards Gramps like lightning.
Rapid Retreat, after attacking the opponent, forces a switch, unaffected by the black eyes.
This was indeed a more effective method than a simple switch, but
watching Thousand-Face Evasion pounce towards him again, Gramps smirked.
Hey!
"Gramps." Jing He shook his head slightly, "Thunder Shock!"
Upon hearing this, Gramps, who was already prepared, pulled its hands towards its ears, stretching them as if imitating Pikachu's appearance.
Immediately, countless golden bolts of lightning erupted from its body, and amidst the crackling sound, it pierced through the approaching Thousand-Face Evasion.
Zzzzz—!!
The powerful current struck Thousand-Face Evasion head-on, and its Rapid Retreat hadn't even touched Gramps before stopping midway.
This was why Danti chose to recall it with a Poke Ball instead of Rapid Retreat.
Switching moves had their advantages, and direct recalls with Poke Balls also served their purpose.
In the end.
Thousand-Face Evasion fell to the ground, losing its battle ability!
"Thousand-Face Evasion, unable to battle!" The referee immediately announced.
In this battle, the first Pokemon to lose its battle ability appeared!
"Hee-hee~Hee-hee~~"
Gramps, transformed into a Pikachu, strutted around the field.
"Phew—As expected of Gramps, using Thunder Shock and even 'Transforming' into a Pikachu."
"The Transforming Gramps, confirmed!"
"I should say, Gramps' Thunder Shock is indeed powerful."
The audience was amused by Gramps' antics.
No wonder Gramps, a mischievous Pokemon by nature, loved pranks.
"Pika?"
Meanwhile, in a corner of the audience, Professor Oak and his companions had just sat down when a bright red Pikachu ran up to him, perched on his shoulder, tilting its head to look at Gramps in the center of the field, scratching its head.
"This Thunder Shock is indeed powerful." Professor Oak murmured.
His Pikachu's Thunder Shock was also formidable, but compared to Teacher Jing He's Gramps.
The key point was that Gramps wasn't an Electric-type Pokemon.
Was this the gap between him and Teacher Jing He?
Qinglu seemed to guess what Professor Oak was thinking and couldn't help but glance at him.
Such a powerful Teacher Jing He, was Professor Oak still considering challenging him? But when he saw Professor Oak's eyes, he was momentarily stunned.
Professor Oak was indeed marveling at Teacher Jing He's strength, but it didn't dampen his enthusiasm for the challenge; instead, that enthusiasm continued to intensify.
Furthermore, Professor Oak's focus on the match was also reaching its peak.
"Professor Oak," Qinglu opened his mouth but ultimately remained silent.
Professor Oak, with a cheerful smile, looked at his grandson, then at Professor Oak on the other side, his smile becoming even more radiant.
"You did well, Thousand-Face Evasion."
Danti spoke softly to the Poke Ball, watching Gramps still prancing in the field, and after a brief contemplation, he threw out his third Poke Ball.
"Go, Multifang Bulbato!"
A dragon, Multifang Bulbato, had a triangular head resembling a jet, with four holes on its head, something hidden within, a slender body, and a tail tip that gradually became transparent, like a ghost.
"Multifang Bulbato, the invisible Pokemon, with Dragon and Ghost types, is a quasi-legendary Pokemon, Loto, from the Galar region!"
A quasi-legendary Dragon-type Pokemon!
Multifang Bulbato was no stranger to Jing He, as it was once a popular Pokemon in Pokemon battles.
In the holes on top of its head, there are actually two Dragon Messiahs, which serve as "weapons" for Multifang Bulbato, while Multifang Bulbato also provides them with shelter.
This is a unique symbiotic relationship unique to the Multifang Bulbato species.
In the game, this not only gives Multifang Bulbato some rather unique moves, but it also has little effect in reality.
But in the real world, catching a Multifang Bulbato is like catching three Quasi-Legendary Pokemon at once!
In Jinghe's opinion, this is definitely a rhythm that will crush one's wallet.
"Hngga?"
Looking at the Multifang Bulbato in the arena and sensing the Ghost-type energy on it, Gramps scratched his head.
Hmm?
Why does it feel a bit like my "electronic pet"?
Gramps only felt a vague resemblance, but for Danti's Multifang Bulbato,
It glanced at Gramps in surprise.
Because on Gramps, it sensed an inexplicable sense of oppression, as if it was the aura left by something extremely dangerous.
Rustle—
The Poke Ball at Jinghe's waist trembled slightly.
Sensing the movement, Jinghe's thoughts stirred, and he immediately said to Gramps, "Gramps, come back."
"Hngga?"
Gramps was a bit puzzled.
I can still fight.
Although puzzled, Gramps did not disobey Jinghe's wishes and obediently floated back, standing by his side.
In the Jing family, what happens at home is one thing, but outside... I still need to give Jinghe some face.
As soon as Gramps returned, the Poke Ball at Jinghe's waist opened on its own.
"Wuuuu~"
Undoubtedly, the Rapid Dragon, known for its strength, appeared, exuding excitement and enthusiasm!
Rapid Dragon?
"Multifang Bulbato, Dragon Dance!" Danti waved his hand and shouted.
"Bulbato—"
Multifang Bulbato stared at the Rapid Dragon for a moment, and without wings, it hovered in mid-air, with a special rhythm emerging from its body as it rushed into the sky.
Jinghe raised his eyebrows slightly at the sight and immediately gave a command.
"Rapid Dragon, Dragon Dance!!"
"Wuuuu~!!"
Whoosh—
The Rapid Dragon flapped its wings vigorously, its seemingly bulky body displaying an unmatched speed as it also charged towards the arena's protective shield, its momentum soaring.
Two dragons, both using Dragon Dance, soared into the sky.
A certain dragon: Give it to me, you old hag!
Dragon Dance boosted the speed and attack power of both dragons.
"Multifang Bulbato, Dragon Arrow!"
Whoosh—
From the holes in Multifang Bulbato's head, two Dragon Messiahs shot out like cannonballs, resembling arrows, their speed so fast they seemed to tear through the air.
This Dragon-type move is exclusive to Multifang Bulbato and requires the cooperation of two Dragon Messiahs to unleash.
"Wuu?"
Looking at the two Dragon Messiahs wrapped in Dragon-type energy like arrows, the Rapid Dragon blinked instinctively.
This Dragon Arrow... feels somewhat familiar.
"Rapid Dragon, Dragon Dive!" Jinghe's voice rang out.
"Wuuuu~!!"
The Rapid Dragon immediately summoned a surging Dragon-type energy from within, quickly forming a giant dragon that charged towards Multifang Bulbato under its guidance.
The two Dragon Messiahs, transformed into arrows, were slightly blocked by the Rapid Dragon's giant dragon form, and when they tried to attack again, they found that the Rapid Dragon had already charged towards Multifang Bulbato.
"Here it comes!" Danti's eyes fixed on the Rapid Dragon, and Multifang Bulbato narrowed its eyes, focusing intently.
As the Rapid Dragon approached.
"Multifang Bulbato, Dragon Tail!"
"Bulbato!"
Multifang Bulbato's tail suddenly stood upright, and on it, a cluster of emerald green energy condensed into dragon scales, lashing out at the Rapid Dragon.
The Dragon Tail move is very slow, making it ideal for a follow-up attack, and its effect is particularly unique, as it can force the hit opponent back into its Poke Ball, replacing it with another Pokemon.
In the original Eight Masters Battle, during Danti's battle with Satoshi, Danti repeatedly used Multifang Bulbato's Dragon Tail to knock out Satoshi's Pokemon, forcing him to switch.
This is a move that disrupts the opponent's rhythm, forcing a Pokemon switch, and the opponent won't know which Pokemon will be switched in, completely disrupting their strategy.
This is why Satoshi, with his impulsive "hot-headed" nature, had no rhythm to speak of, so although Dragon Tail was uncomfortable, Satoshi still fought with his usual recklessness.
But for a Trainer like Jinghe, having their rhythm disrupted is definitely challenging.
However,
For Danti and Multifang Bulbato's move, Jinghe seemed to have anticipated it.
"Swift!"
Just as the Rapid Dragon was about to hit Multifang Bulbato, its speed suddenly increased, and in the blink of an eye, it appeared behind Multifang Bulbato!
"Oh yeah! Jinghe Teacher's familiar pre-reading!" Kibana shouted, watching Danti's disappointment with "blood boiling" enthusiasm.
"Multifaceted Bulbato, take to the skies!"
Danti was taken by surprise, but his reaction speed was still as quick as ever. He knew exactly where Multifaceted Bulbato's strengths lay.
Compared to other Quasi-Legendary Pokemon, Multifaceted Bulbato's speed was its most outstanding trait.
Boom! Boom!
Rapid Dragon charged towards Multifaceted Bulbato from behind!
However, the damage was not as significant as expected.
It was like two people, one running and the other stationary, where the impact and inertia would create a powerful force. But if both were running, one after the other, even with a speed difference, the impact force would be significantly reduced.
Moreover, with the impact from Rapid Dragon, Multifaceted Bulbato quickly increased the distance between them.
At the same time, two Dragon Arrows finally struck Rapid Dragon.
Boom! Boom!
After the hit, the two Dragon Messiahs immediately went invisible and flew back to Multifaceted Bulbato's head.
Rapid Dragon, standing amidst the dust, shook its head twice and looked back at Multifaceted Bulbato.
Due to the presence of the Multishield Ability, the damage inflicted on Rapid Dragon was not particularly significant.
"Multifaceted Bulbato, maintain the distance and use Dragon Arrow again!"
Danti clenched his fist and shouted.
"Bulbato!"
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Two Dragon Arrows flew out once more, and Multifaceted Bulbato maintained its speed, keeping its distance from Rapid Dragon.
"Rapid Dragon, dodge!"
"Wooo—!"
Rapid Dragon flapped its wings and, with an incredibly agile move that didn't suit its body type, dodged the two incoming Dragon Arrows and pursued Multifaceted Bulbato.
Then, a scene unfolded that left the audience a little dumbfounded.
Multifaceted Bulbato was running in front, with Rapid Dragon chasing from behind, and the two Dragon Messiahs voice trembling): "I-I'll eat this Stomp..."
Kibana smacked his forehead.
"Here comes Danti's 'Dragon Kite Tactics', using his speed advantage to kite."
When it came to Danti, Kibana was the second most familiar with his tactics, and no one could dispute the first place.
The two Dragon Messiahs, empowered by Multifaceted Bulbato's strength, were closing in on Rapid Dragon.
The arrows seemed to be right beside it.
Multifaceted Bulbato also exerted all its strength to maintain the distance from Rapid Dragon.
But...
Isn't this guy getting tired? Multifaceted Bulbato wondered.
How come this Rapid Dragon isn't getting tired after flying for so long? Unbeknownst to them, Rapid Dragon was currently having the time of its life.
Every day, Gramps had to take it out for two laps to barely release its energy, and these weren't just any ordinary laps; the flying range was quite extensive.
Only Gramps, with its limitless energy, could handle this task.
For Rapid Dragon, the current flight was like a walk in the park.
Moreover...
The corner of its eye caught the two Dragon Messiahs with their tongues out, chasing after it. That familiar feeling from Rapid Dragon returned.
As if sensing Rapid Dragon's thoughts, Jing He's eyes narrowed slightly.
Dragon Kite Tactics?
It seemed like they had some misunderstanding about the word 'Dragon' in 'Dragon Kite'. Or perhaps, they didn't quite understand which dragon was supposed to 'kite'.
"Rapid Dragon!" Jing He shouted again, adjusting his monocle, "Swift!"
Rapid Dragon's speed suddenly surged!
"Indeed, no one can match the speed of Rapid Dragon under Swift. But as a Normal-type move, even with its incredible speed, it poses no threat to the Ghost-type Multifaceted Bulbato." Kibana explained.
On the other side of the audience, Da Wu expressed his disagreement.
"This isn't an ordinary Swift."
Teacher Rapid Dragon's Swift...
"Look!"
Some of the audience members exclaimed in surprise.
They witnessed the milky-white aura surrounding Rapid Dragon intertwine and form a faint green light!
Furthermore, the enveloping aura gradually transformed into the outline of an arrow.
An arrow?
A Dragon Arrow?!
"Could it be..." Kibana was also a bit dumbfounded, "That Rapid Dragon learned Dragon Arrow from Dragon Messiah?"
"No." Herona, sitting in the audience, shook her head. Others might not have seen it, but this move...
Boom! Boom!
With its speed boosted, Rapid Dragon collided head-on with Multifaceted Bulbato in its surprised gaze, followed by a sharp pain.
How could this be?
"Why can a Normal-type move like Swift hit Multifaceted Bulbato?"
"This doesn't make sense! Oh, it's Teacher Jing He, so it's fine."
"If even the speed advantage is gone, how will Multifaceted Bulbato fight?"
"Dragon Kite? This is the real 'Dragon Kite'!"
Among the audience, some with good memories, especially those from the Hoenn region, seemed to vaguely recall something.
They remembered a video that had appeared online but was quickly deleted, featuring the legendary Pokemon Skysurfing Lugia and Teacher Jing He riding on its head.
"I feel like this move is so similar to Skysurfing Lugia's 'Dragon's Esoteric Art'..."
"It's something a friend taught me, don't worry about it."
